Barbecue Inn

It may be called the Barbecue Inn, but all the locals at this old-time Houston diner know that the fried-to-order chicken--which comes out piping hot and somehow almost greaseless-is the thing to get. Read more

Grew up going here. The hamburgers are some of the best!!! And the fried chicken is SOOOO good (but it takes a while, so don't fill up on crackers and butter!)!!

The fried chicken is the truth! Takes 25-30 min to prepare but is worth the wait. The mashed potatoes are a must as well , so buttery and creamy. Chicken fried steak disappointed a little.

My first time here. I ordered chicken fried steak . It comes with salad . I'm allergic to iceberg lettuce. Theresa offered me a credit. NOBODY does that!! I'm going to try the baked beans .

First time going here and the fried chicken is good! Make sure you tell them well done French fries ! It comes with a salad as well ! Overall 3.5/5

It's old school service with old school waitstaff . While its name deals in smoked meats , the real treasure here is the fried chicken . [Eater 38 Member]

One of our favorite places. The fried chicken and fried shrimp fishes are the best.

Try anything fried, you will not be disappointed. Hamburger are good too. My favorite is the chicken fried chicken beast with their awesome cream gravy .

The fried chicken is the best I have ever had in Texas. Dee's Dee's Pies are to die for!

People don't eat BBQ here....It's all about fried. Chicken fried chicken takes 20 minutes....but totally worth it. Also chicken fried steak , fried shrimp and fried oysters rock!

The Barbecue Inn opened in 1946. It’s still operated by the same family. Other than the prices, little has changed by the look of the original menu on the wall.

The most delicious fried chicken in the world, since 1946. Wonderfully old-fashioned.

Good salad , food-shrimp, chicken fried steak , & dessert . Gravy is not all that great or the baked potatoes .

Fried chicken is awesome. Been coming here since the 80's

Ask for Lilly...she has been there 33 years....she is a hoot....also ask her the difference between male and female shrimp !!!

Fried chicken !!

The best fried chicken . They give you plenty of food. Even the child's plate is heaping. Order your fries well-done; otherwise, they are too greasy.

Their fried chicken is the best and the wait staff is great! Levity.

Go to the Barbeque Inn , and take a step back 30+ years in history. Do NOT order barbeque . Order anything fried, and you will not be disappointed.

Their 1000 Island Dressing is homemade and to die for!!!!
